Allgäuer Cambonator Doppelbock

Brewed by Allgäuer Brauhaus (Oetker Group)
Style: Doppelbock
Kempten, Germany

Malt candis aroma, but light. Little rocky, fast diminishing head, dark brown color with red spots. Malty, caramaely and also peppery taste. Medium malty, milkchocolate like aftertaste. Average Doppelbock.

Brown in color, clear, with huge, rocky, light-brown head with excellent lacing. Aroma is of molasses. Moderately sweet flavor. Moderately long finish is lightly bitter and slightly alcoholic.

Smelled like toast and had a cloudy appearance with no head; overall dark appearance. It had a sour taste with a dry finish. This is something I would expect to get if I finished all of my dinner.

This brew poured a medium sized head of mostly diminishing bubbles that left behind a good lacing and a transparent brown colored uncarbonated body. The aroma was mildly malted and the mouthfeel was smooth but had a bitter finish that was atypical of a Doppelbock. It had an odd flavor with malty carmel mixed with something else I could not put my finger on.

Dayton, OH AleFest:I really enjoy drinking and rating Dopplebocks and even though this is not the best Dopplebock that I've had to date, it was not too bad.The appearance was a small sized tan head with fine sized bubbles that quickly diminished.The body was clear, uncarbonated and the hue was reddish-brown.The nose of this Dopplebock was malty along with some caramel.The flavor was sweet tasting and malty.It has a very smooth mouthfeel and is light-medium bodied.There was a fair amount of lacing on the sides of my glass.

Deep reddish brown color with a small creamy head. Dark fruits, heavy malt and some smoke in the aroma. Big, whopping malt body (pumpernickle bread dough???) with mild roasted malt character along with smoke in the background. Very clean finish with no lingering aftertaste. Very nice.

Dark brown/red/black body topped with a generous tan head. From beginning to end, for my tastebuds, this was all about the licorice - especially before it warmed up. Other great flavors were caramel, roast coffee and raisons. Surprisingly good.

Dark copper brown color with a dark tan lightly lacing head. Aroma is bursting with sweet malty bockiness. Chewy caramel and cookie dough flavor with a chocolate and noble hop finish. It's not Andechser or Celebrator, but this is a fine German doppelbock.
